[edit] Character personality
Like his father, Chris is portrayed to be stupid, obese and often ignorant and pathetic. He is usually depicted as naive to the point of blamelessness.
As a running gag, Chris is regularly tormented by an evil monkey who lives in his closet. However, this has recently slowed down a bit, as the monkey has rarely been seen in recent seasons.
[edit] Character origins
Chris' character resembles Milt, the son of the main character Larry Cummings in The Life of Larry, one of the animated short films created by Seth MacFarlane at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1995 that led to the development of Family Guy.[citation needed]
Chris was originally given a "punk" image, according to creator Seth McFarlane's DVD commentary tracks. He wore earrings, and his painful awkwardness was not as emphasized as it is later in the series.[citation needed]
Chris' voice was based on Ted Levine's performance as James/Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb in The Silence of the Lambs. In the commentary for Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, Green reveals that he based his voice for Chris on what "Buffalo Bill" would sound like if he were working at a drive-thru in a McDonalds (speaking through a PA system); the result being a pre-Chris Griffin voice. Chris later parodied a scene from the movie where Buffalo Bill dances in front of a mirror in the same fashion.[citation needed]
